Oh, and in regards to Tropic Thunder, I think Sarah should watch it. It's currently holding an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has received a favourable response from earlier screenings.
Besides all that, it has Robert Downey Jr. playing a white guy who plays a black guy. How can it go wrong?

Robert Downey playing a white guy is like Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears getting out of a car without underwear - too easy.
It would have been funnier to have a black guy playing a white guy playing a black guy. Even funnier would have been a black woman playing a black guy playing a white guy playing a black guy.
Edit:
popSiren's Dude Siren episode was funnier than the clips of Tropic Thunder.
Dramatic Music
Does anyone know what the dramatic music is? I am assuming it is from a stock pack or something.Fun!
This show rocked! I think that thrill song is from Jason... remixed?I really liked the Office Olympics.. :) Funny!
Yey MUXTAPE!! Again!! although I never played with it so right after this I am going to try it :). Heavy metal review was cool.. Can we get some country and rap too?
http://www.fuelly.com/ !!!!! Lane made me feel so stupid! I paid whatever for the Iphone app that does the same thing!!! And when she started talking about they having a Iphone web app! I started to tear a little! Cant believe I wasted my money!! I am switching to Fuelly now :) thanks Sarah!!!
Oh, and Tropic Thunder or whatever that movie is... Gets a PASS from me.. I'm just sick of slap stick comedies..
Can't wait for the live taping!!! Kick ass job this week!!
Good luck!!! Shawn and Nastia!!! KICK THE 12 YEAR OLD'S ASS!!
I find last.fm more reliable for categorizing music, although anything new or strange is "experimental" or if it's rock with something interesting it gets an "alternative" tag. Trying to define musical style may be doomed to fail. Just group music into has-flutes or does-not-have-flutes.
If we get to request genres, I'd like some electroclash (Peaches, Le Tigre, Chicks on Speed) next please. Perhaps some chello-rock? Just bought the Matson Jones album, pretty good, not sure if the band died or not. More metal? Not much of a fan, but I do like Stolen Babies and Human Waste Project.
On the prowl scored again, the gist was lame, and I didn't like Moujan's olympics. Moujan rocked last time with the historical slang, that was impressively performed and researched. Sarah was looking sharp this week, nice threads. I think popSiren should have a competition to guess how tall she is since people are already guessing it on the forums.
A for Effort with the Metal Song. I can't vouch for everyone, but me personally I can't stand The screaming, it sounds like crap. Get a Disturbed or Godsmack cd and listen to someone that you can understand.
So far every song all this electronic indie (crap) all sounds like it could be from the same band.. Seriously is there any bands out there with an original sound. Or is it all slow fall asleep music?
What's up with this Heather Hipster chick. Take her off the show plz. Sarah flows but this chick apparently has got something to prove. Give her time to Moujan.
The Cross group was crap.
Genghis TRON sounded cool - at least the clip you played which had no words.
OMFG, everybody just chill out... Sarah listened to Metallica in highschool. j/king of course.
